Work and families - Employment Law _ Andersons Solicitors

New draft regulations dealing with the Government’s family-friendly policies have been published and are now out for consultation until 18 April 2006. The changes include:
the introduction of ‘keeping in touch’ days, so that where employees and employers agree, a women on maternity leave can go into work for a few days, without losing her right to maternity leave or a week's statutory pay;
extending the right to request flexible working to ‘carers’.
The drafts can be downloaded from the DTI website at http://www.dti.gov.uk/er/hot_topics.htm
